Count Amount of Character of String Value/Content on C Programming Language

Example when program is run, string which its value/content is "abc" is counted 3 characters, string "Love Mom" is conted 8 characters. Syntax is used as follows:

printf("%d", strlen(name_of_string));

Example of program to count amount of character of string value/content on C programming language:

1. Open Dev C++
2. File menu > New > Source File, then will be created a new worksheet titled Untitled1
3. File menu > Save As. On Save as type: choose C source files (*.c) and on File name, example we give name count string character.c
4. First, type minimal required syntax on C programming:
   
   main()
   {
   }
   
   
5. Add getch() function in main() function to show program result while be Run:
   
   main()
   {
     getch();
   } 
   
   
6. Define a string variable, and directly define its value/content
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string[] = "X";
     getch();
   } 
   
   
7. To show amount of character of the string value/content, use syntax printf("%d", strlen(nama_string))
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string[] = "X";
     printf("%d", strlen(name_of_string));
     getch();
   } 
   
   Please Compile&Run, then on Run result will show 1, because X is consist of 1 character, if we change with Love Mom:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string[] = "Love Mom";
     printf("%d", strlen(name_of_string));
     getch();
   } 
   
   then on Run result will show 8, because word "Love Mom" is consist of 10 characters, (7 letters and 1 space), please try!
8. For more interesting can be added sentence:
   
   main()
   {
     char name_of_string[] = "Love Mom";
     printf("Word %s is consist of %d characters", name_of_string, strlen(name_of_string));
     getch();
   } 
   

Thank you... : )
